Vincennes, IN – The National Park Service is investigating a widespread theft of panel covers for historic bronze lampposts within the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park. The lampposts were installed in 1932 and surround the park grounds including the George Rogers Clark Memorial.Panels were removed from 22 lamp posts and another four had the screws loosened in preparation for removal. The panel covers are 14” by 11” at their widest point and weigh approximately 9 pounds each. If anyone has information related to the removal or possession of these historic items, please contact the park at 812-882-1776 or email joey_herron@nps.gov. The most minor details such as seeing someone tampering with the lamppost or noticing when they were missing can help the park establish a timeline. Tips will be kept anonymous.
